If you still have the clutch fan, you'll need the dual pulley, no question. But without the clutch fan you could run the single for a while as you wait for the dual pulley to arrive.
You're hearing the noise on the air pump because the stock airbox muffled it previously.
Note that you need a small filter for the air pump if you intend to run it for a while.
Additionally, that cone filter is just going to cost you horsepower unless you build a proper cold air box. The factory intake is already a cold air intake.
When you do the emissions removal, do not remove the BAC valve and cold start thermowax system.
